Salomon Men's X Ultra Pioneer Mid Gore-tex Outdoor

These boots are very good. As a postman, I walk a lot of miles on the pavement, so I need a shoe that has a hard wearing sole, comfortable, and most importantly that is waterproof.These boots tick those boxes very well. Of course, you need to look after them, so I make sure I use a good Gore-Tex boot cleaner and then I spray on a re proofer if I've been out in heavy rain in them.I average around 16,000 - 20,000 steps a day in these, and by around the 5th month of having them the sole will be worn through. But, I'm happy with that compared to other boots I've had. I will however only get these when they're on offer, for me that's been from around £79 - £95. I don't want to pay more than that for work shoes.I recommend these boots.

Wore boots for coastal walking scores of years! Berghaus usually but they lost their waterproofing within 3 years. Not the same quality anymore. Can’t say how long these will last but the most comfortable and lightweight I’ve ever had . No new boot blisters anymore either ! I am size 9 but needed 9.5 as narrow fit .

The media could not be loaded. I recently tested this shoe, and it was absolutely brilliant. The waterproofing is outstanding—I stood and walked in a lake for 10-15 minutes, and my feet stayed completely dry. The material does a fantastic job of keeping water out while still being breathable and comfortable for long walks.It’s cost-effective and great value for my money. Since the design sits below the ankle, water can get in if it’s too deep, so it’s best for shallow streams, wet trails, and rainy conditions rather than full submersion.Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for hikers and outdoor lovers, combining reliable waterproofing, comfort, and affordability.

Very pleased with these. Wore them over the weekend for the first time on a couple of walks and they are just so comfortable. I normally take a size 9 but went for a 9.5 and they fit perfectly. Got them at a decent price too. This is my second pair of Salomon hiking boots and they never disappoint.

Got these as a replacement for my 7 year old 2DX which started leaking a while back.Initial thoughts, the build quality is not as good, less rubber over the toe and overall feels more flimsy, but light weight and Goretex so should be fine.First day wore them for 7 hours of very light walking, bit of mud, no rain, just as comfy as I expected. Week later, 30 mins walking in wet grass and my the inside of my right foot from the big toe is soaked from underneath, water didn't get in from the top, it's coming from the side where it would flex for my toes. Obviously very disappointed, but I'm returning them and will get another pair as this is most likely just a defect.Other annoyance was I didn't wearing them 2nd time within the 30 day return window, so Amazon have offered a refund, not replacement, but they are now more expensive, so I have to make up the extra.

Good quality , Good all round. Maybe expensive even when getting a good deal but it’s worth saving up for and getting quality that lasts a long time and supports and protects you and your feet

Nice comfortable hiking shoes

I bought these boots in May 2023 and have walked about 20 miles a week in them since then - usually over hilly terrain and along grassy tracks.I’ve had good experience with Salomon trail running shoes in the past so was keen to try these. Build quality seemed excellent to begin with. Well made, good quality materials and finished well.Fit was quite tight for me (size 10, wide-ish foot) but overall they were comfortable for long hikes and I've never had any blisters wearing them.Initially the waterproofing seemed fine, and in the summer months I had few complaints. Recently, in wetter weather and through wet grass, the boots have leaked water pretty early on a hike and my feet have become quickly sodden.There’s clearly a problem with one of the boots because the left boot becomes sodden much faster than the right one. There’s no obvious crack or hole in the boot but water is coming in around the toes. Very disappointing for Gore-Tex boot.The grip on the boots is only average; again in muddier conditions they lose traction pretty easily and I’ve had a few too-many slips and slides in these boots.So, for me, these aren’t fit for purpose in winter or in wet conditions. They’re fine in summer months and on dry terrain where their comfort is a higher priority than their ability to keep water out or their grip in the mud.
